Abstract excerpt
Aromatase, encoded by the CYP19A1 gene, is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of estrogen. In an effort to screen for CYP19A1 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in Koreans, the CYP19A1 gene was directly sequenced in 50 normal subjects. A total of 19 variations were identified: four in exons, ten in introns, six in the 5'-untranslated region (UTR) and one in 3'-UTR. The distribution of CYP19A1 (TTTA)(n)...
